Reality reality reality is always
You tattooed yourself what a piece of art
You've already broken your mother's heart
When I was your age working my ass off
Your generation's soft

Reality is always such a drag
For barely blooming eighteens
The barely blooming eighteen
Wants to know

What's keeping her from searching
You cannot pierce that and
You're dressed too tight

Got a lot to learn about wrong and right
So dye you hair, dad's gonna wash it out
Come on wash out your mouth

Reality is always such a drag
For barely blooming eighteens
The barely blooming eighteen
Wants to know

What's hiding in the shadow
Reality reality reality is always
Reality is always
